While a club was a nice way to gather energy it simply wasn’t to his taste, it was too loud and too bright, he would consider dropping in for food perhaps but he really had no intentions of gathering energy at the club unless he had no other choice. A run in to pick up food, ordered on an app, wasn’t as bad and he was willing to do that. When it came to gathering energy though…Miyamoto would go with the old fashioned way even if it meant wandering the city on foot. It was all the exercise he needed.

For now, since he didn’t need his hands for anything, they were slipped up the opposite sleeve so his hands were in front of him and tucked away into the long sleeves of his uniform. Long hair trailed behind him as he walked. Already he’d gathered a fair amount of energy but no one else seemed to be in this part of the park, so he was headed towards another area - a playground. He knew teenagers, and even some adults, hung around the playgrounds at night. He was hoping they’d be there and he could handle them easily enough.


So he found himself at a…Playground?

Why was he constantly in the park at night?

Aaru sighed and tossed his skull up and down while sitting on the merry-go-round, feeling bored as hell. If only there was something for him to just hit…He sighed, tilting his head back while looking up at the sky. The stars were pretty tonight, maybe he should have stayed at home and tried to seduce his husband to have a round on the back porch? Was that romantic at all? Having sex in the backyard under the stars? He thought so but maybe Ryan wouldn't be too happy being naked out in the yard.

He should really get a pool, made because sex underwater would be amazing…He should really focus up because it appears there is a chaos signature approaching. Great, it was an eternal as well….Should he leave?

Nah.


Miyamoto had felt them as well, a squire, it had the dark haired male smiling as the idea of potentially confronting and killing a knight gave him a thrill of some sort. This all hinged on the hope that this knight wouldn’t just run off once they felt him closing in on them. But as he got closer, and they didn’t get further away, he assumed whoever it was that a fight didn’t bother them. Maybe that should be telling, or even concerning, but it was neither really…at least not yet.

When they did come into view, sitting on the merry go round, he couldn’t help but stare for a moment. “How amusing…one dressed as a servant of death perched on a toy for those full of life - the young. And with a skull in your hand. So very amusing.” His words came out slow, almost bored, but there was a hint of a smile in place. If anything he was the more dangerous of the two, the one more likely to kill here in this area which served as a play area for those most full of life - the young.


Aaru slowly brought his head up, giving the eternal a look of boredom.

“Yep. Very amusing.”

He sat up, tossing the skull up and down, “So, you here to be amused, to kill, injure me or maybe a combination of all three?” Honestly he wasn't going to let the corrupt kill him, he had a family to get home to, but it would be amusing to fight and see what they were about at least. It would cure his boredom and hopefully he could get away without too much injury. Then he would have to find a way to get around his worrying husband, which isn't as easy as one would think.

Ryan wasn't stupid and he was pretty good at reading between the lines…

Yeah, dying and injury is not on his list of things to do tonight, so if he had to run he would do it and not feel a damned bit of shame.



“You already know why I headed towards your signature - gold star for you.” The boredom dripped from his words, his hands sliding out of his sleeves as he took a slow approach towards the other. He wasn’t going to run into this, that wouldn’t be smart, but he wasn’t about to avoid this either.

“I’m going to enjoy this.” Drawing his words out he stepped onto the rubber, likely recycled tires, which made up the ground of the playground. “Going to get up or do I have to come over there and drag you onto your feet?” Staring at them, sitting there, as he continued to close the distance between them. Already the frost started to cover the ground around his feet, trailing along the ground where his hair dragged, he was aiming to intimidate the other with the bit of magic.


The fog was…Alarming, not that it showed on his face for all the ******** he could give at the moment. Giving the senshi a sideways grin, Aaru raised an eyebrow, “Dunno, this merry-go-round’s kinda comfy yano? Sides, that foggy s**t around you, while it makes you look hot as hell…Doesn't seem like it's something I should be near.” so, he relaxed and sat back, legs widening slightly as he leaned. “Gonna have to come get me I'm afraid. Show me a good time and I promise I’ll fight back less.” Was he feeling flirty? Yeah sure. Did he mean anything by it? Nope. As far as he was concerned, with the exception of Moon, he was exclusively Ryan-sexual.

That didn't mean he couldn't at least look for a little bit.


Raising a brow, eyes narrowing, he was not pleased with the…compliment - it was most unwanted considering they were a knight. He wasn’t even sure what he’d say if Lorcan called him hot, he’d had other compliments from the other but hot was not one of those. “A little cold never hurt anyone, and it seems you could use a bit of a cool down.“ Shaking his head as he closed the distance, ready to grab the other and yank him from that merry go round before slapping the s**t out of him.

“I’d rather drink down a bottle of bleach. I really don’t see why people are so interested in such…physical activities, to the point of bringing it up now.” When there was someone feet away, who could teleport, and wanted you very much dead. Yet they had the time to flirt and make a pass at him…how bothersome, and disturbing.

Closing the distance with a single teleport, deciding that standing in front of the other might get the point across - they should be thinking with their head and not other things. Placing a hand on the cool metal of the merry go round had the metal cooling even further as a thin coating of frost covered it. “Unless you’d like to die tonight….than by all means keep thinking without your head. I’ve no problem in killing your kind.” Leaning forward, his hair falling about his face like a curtain, his grey eyes dark like clouds filled with water and ready to either rain or snow.


Wooooow

Some one was sex repulsed. Sad really but the activity wasn't for everyone and he could respect that. Welp, since he wanted to get all close and personal… Aaru leaned forward slightly with a grin on his face. “What makes you think……That I'm using the wrong head…Senshi?” Aaru has almost died pleantly of times by that stupid ******** purple people eatting b*****d that he really didn't think any of the other negaverse people were scary, except maybe a royal. Without any warning, he materialized his obsidian skull and swung it as hard as he could, aiming for the senshi’s face.

If that failed then he kicked out with both feet, intending to slam them into their midsection. Yeah he was a rank lower but being hit in the stomach with two feet in combat boots just did not sound like a good time at all.


While he managed to duck the skull, he was almost expecting it when he saw the damn thing summoned, he did not avoid the ******** boots. Sucking in a breath as he stumbled back, tripping over his own damn hair, he landed on his a** with his arms curling around his midsection. Miyamoto was sure he’d be bruised heavily and did wonder if anything could have broken…though it didn’t feel like the time he had broken ribs - ******** bokken wielding knight.

Taking slow breaths, to ground himself and get past the pain in his stomach, he was glad he’d not eaten right before coming out to patrol. Had eaten right before this then he knew his dinner would be making a reappearance. Glaring at the knight he used the position he was in to use his own magic on them. “Let’s see how you like this…” Making a rather sweeping gesture with one of his arms he whispered two simple words…a whisper so the other had no idea what was to come. He’d get up soon enough, once he felt a bit less winded, he had time though.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stichtite had been out as well, not exactly on the same patrol path as Miyamoto but he knew they’d cross paths here and there occasionally while he did his rounds. It wasn’t something that bothered him much, he didn’t need a babysitter while out, neither of them did. But he’d gotten an odd call, one that made him consider picking up his pace to one of the parks that had a playground, one of those places he knew their routes would cross.

Getting closer, he could recognize Miyamoto’s signature by now but it was accompanied by one from order. That wasn’t too surprising, the other sought them out to fight and he knew it. It wasn’t normally a problem because they knew when to retreat but as he drew nearer and saw the fight breaking out, he broke into a run to get closer. He didn’t need to teleport, not yet at least, he really didn’t like the idea of using magic anyway but he’d use that later if he needed to.

It definitely wasn’t a senshi, that he could tell when he got close enough to see what was going on. Miyamoto was on the ground and the knight had a skull in his hand? That was a bit unsettling but it wasn’t sharp so he wasn’t too worried.

Pulling one of his daggers out, he stood by Miyamoto and offered a hand to pull them up.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh….Great.

Aaru would readily admit that he was in fact a badass. But not enough to take on an Eternal AND an agent. That just wasn't fair. No, he was not about to call Maia but….He might call Shang if this got any worse….

Actually, no.

He was not about to take on two people at once today, not without backup of some sort. Then the senshi just conjured something, he couldn't tell what till icicles started falling from the sky, which he did his best to dodge cause pointy, but…One did manage to hit him and while he was expecting pain, a whole different feeling emerged instead. Thoughts of how he felt whenever he saw Moon and Ryan interacting without him hit him tenfold, causing a deep despair to crush his heart. “********…” He grabbed his heart and doubled over, fighting tears. The ******** is this s**t?! While trying to keep himself from hyperventilating, Aaru grit his teeth and backed up. He thought about calling Mu Arae but he knew Palm would kill him since she was technically on maternity leave.

But ******** if he didn't want to die today.

So, he had two choices: Get the ******** out of dodge, OR call in the hulking pomeranian and risk Cass’s wrath later.

He chose the former rather than the latter, with the feeling starting to wear off he looked the senshi dead in the eye, “You're lucky you ******** time I come across you I am going to take you out.” and that was a promise just as he sped away, figuring they wouldnt come after him.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking the offered hand, a sadistic smile curling his lips, and a gleam in his eyes, Miyamoto was more than pleased to watch the other suffer under his magic. It was just a shame when it ended before he could get to them and remove their starseed. A shame really.

“Bring it, because next time I’ll rip your starseed out and crush it before your eyes.” Flashing his fangs at the other he made to move after them, despite the pain in his midsection, his body protested the move, as he restrained himself but only just. “Fear me little knight…I’ll kill you next time.” They’d gotten lucky…but next time he knew what to watch for - the boots. ******** the skull that was a tinker toy, as all those knights weapons were, it was the boots to watch out for.

It wasn’t until they were gone that he leaned into the captain at his side. “That left marks.” No doubt there, he knew his ribs were going to be sore and his stomach hurt like hell.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrowing his eyes, it almost looked like they were having chest pains. It didn’t look terribly serious but to be honest he wouldn’t treat them if it was serious anyway, not after they’d fought with Miyamoto and apparently had hit them rather hard. Looking towards Miyamoto and then the knight, he figured he’d try and throw one of his daggers at them. If it hit it should numb one the area and make them fall because it seemed like Miyamoto wanted to finish things but couldn’t really do so with how they were right now.

“You know… if I didn’t know you better I would think you were a bit unstable.” Sighing as he spoke and steadied them as they stood, he looked them over for any blood. Relieved that there wasn’t any he could see, that meant he wouldn’t have to get out his kit when he got them home.

Making sure he helped keep some of the weight off their side, he got them over to one of the benches to sit down for a moment as he carefully probed their side to feel if any of their ribs were out of place or broken. It didn’t sound like it but he wanted to make sure before they moved too much more. “Guess you seem to have trouble with knights, at least you didn’t try to use your hair this time. You really get to close when you do that, you have magic and as much as I dislike that fact, you should use it more often to keep your distance.”

He felt like he was lecturing them but it wasn’t as bad as when he did the same to his cousin because they would at least listen and try not to be the cause of his grief over stupid risk taking choices.

“Let’s go, you need to lay down I think.”
